I’ve had to put up with this stuff since 2017. In 2017 I had to block one of these guys on Twitter, and it only got worse from there. It’s sad and exhausting, to say the least.

So apparently a PyTorch dev has created (+ regularly updated for half a year) a "parody" account to attack me. I assume this is done by the same people who send me anonymous emails of insults on a regular basis, and who create sockpuppet accounts to bash me on Reddit etc.pic.twitter.com/mBgSlzw5NS

I want to stress that the vast majority of people in the Python ML open-source community are good people. Over the years, I’ve interacted (and occasionally collaborated) with people from MXNet, sklearn, CNTK, Caffe, Theano, JAX, etc -- all fantastic people…

The disgraceful behavior of some of the PyTorch devs is a rare but glaring exception.

There are a couple of accounts like that attacking me. Tech twitter is high school and some people will be 14 for the rest of their lives.

It's sad. One thing I've found out is that "anonymous" attacks are often not from "randos", but from folks who have a specific reason to hide their affiliation / identity.
